About Clydeside
(KLYDE-side) The Clydeside Distillery opened in Glasgow in 2017, when Tim Morrison brought single malt distilling back to the city for the first time in more than a century. The distillery stands at the former Queen’s Dock pump house on the banks of the River Clyde, giving it a direct link to Glasgow’s whisky export history as well as to the Morrison family itself, whose great-grandfather helped build the dock.
The first Clydeside single malt was released in October 2021, marking an important milestone for one of the most visible parts of Glasgow’s modern whisky revival.
Clydeside has built its identity around a lighter Lowland style, using barley sourced from Scottish Lowland farms and presenting the whisky through a range shaped by dockside Glasgow and the city’s shipbuilding heritage. Releases such as Stobcross and Napier draw directly on that setting, while the distillery’s location and family history give the brand a stronger sense of place than many newer Scotch producers.
